Nanohybrid Shish Kebabs

Li et al. (26) reported a polymer crystallization method to modify CNTs and nanofibers with semicrystalline polymers in a periodic manner, leading to a novel nanohybrid shish—kebab superstructure. Zou et al. (27) proposed a "roping and wrapping" method to disperse MWCNTs by non-covalently wrapping with linear polymers. Liang et al. (28) used molding processing technique to modify...
